3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12597 and the following applies.
3.1
penetration
consistency, expressed as the distance in tenths of a millimetre that a standard needle will penetrate vertically
into a sample of the material under specified conditions of temperature, load and loading duration
4 Principle
The penetration of a standard needle into a conditioned test sample shall be measured. For penetrations up to
approximately 330 × 0,1 mm the operating parameters shall be a test temperature of 25 °C, an applied load of
100 g, and a loading duration of 5 s. For penetrations expected above approximately
330 × 0,1 mm, the test temperature shall be reduced to 15 °C but the operating parameters of the applied load
and the loading duration remain unchanged.
TS EN 1426 : 2008-01
EN 1426:2007 (E)
5 Apparatus
Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
5.1 Penetrometer; apparatus that permits a needle holder to move vertically without measurable friction
and enables the needle penetration to be determined to the nearest 0,1 mm. The needle holder shall be
readily detachable from the apparatus and shall have a mass of (47,50 ± 0,05) g. A weight of (50,00 ± 0,05) g
suitable for attachment to the needle holder shall be provided if not already fixed to the needle holder. The
stand upon which the specimen container, or transfer dish rests shall be flat and horizontal. The 50 g weight
shall be fixed underneath the support (see Figure 1).
NOTE An example of a suitable penetrometer is shown in Figure 1. To facilitate levelling, the penetrometer should be
provided with level adjustment screws.
Equipment that controls the penetration time automatically may also be used. Such equipment shall be
checked regularly for correct penetration time (see 5.6).
5.2 Penetration needle, (see Figure 2), made from fully hardened, tempered and polished stainless steel
of type X105CrMo17 (1.4125), conforming to EN 10088-3, taking into account that it is not necessary to
comply with the minimum content of molybdenum specified in that standard, and of Rockwell hardness C54 to
C60 determined in accordance with ISO 6508-1. The cylindrical body of the needle shall have a diameter of
1,00 mm to 1,02 mm and one end shall be symmetrically tapered by grinding to a cone with an angle of 9 °
(10 ± 30) ' over the entire cone length. The cone shall be co-axial with the cylindrical body of the needle; the
total axial variation of the intersection between the conical and cylindrical surfaces shall not exceed 0,2 mm.
The conical tip of the needle shall be ground square to the axis of the needle within 2 ° until the diameter at
the tip is between 0,14 mm and 0,16 mm. The edge of the ground tip shall be sharp and free from burrs.
For penetrations up to 330 × 0,1 mm the length of the needle shall be approximately 50 mm. For penetrations
between 330 × 0,1 mm and 500 × 0,1 mm, use needles that shall conform to the requirements given for mass
and dimensions, but which are longer in length so that the ferrule into which the needle is fixed does not
penetrate the material undergoing testing.
The needle shall be rigidly mounted in a brass or stainless steel ferrule with 5 mm to 10 mm of the needle
inside the ferrule. The run-out of the needle tip or any part of the needle relative to the ferrule axis shall not
exceed 1,0 mm. The ferrule shall be (3,20 ± 0,05) mm in diameter and (38 ± 1) mm in length.
The mass of the ferrule and needle assembly shall be (2,50 ± 0,05) g.
NOTE 1 A drill hole at the end of the ferrule or a flat on the side is possible to control the mass.
Individual identification marking shall be engraved or stamped on the ferrule of each needle; the same
marking shall not be repeated by the manufacturer within a 3 year period.
The needle shall be inspected visually for corrosion and shape and the masses of the needle and spindle
checked sufficiently regularly to assure satisfactory condition.
NOTE 2 The mass of the needle plus needle holder together with the additional mass of the weight provides a moving
load of 100 g.
It is important that initial and continued compliance with the stringent requirements for the needle is
maintained. Certification of compliance can be obtained through the needle supplier or a qualified agency.
NOTE 3 For information concerning tolerances of the needle (Figure 2), see ISO 286-1, ISO 1829, ISO 1101 and ISO
1302.
TS EN 1426 : 2008-01
EN 1426:2007 (E)
5.3 Test sample container, metal or glass, cylindrical, flat-bottomed. The internal depth of the container
shall be appropriate in order to contain a bituminous sample of which the depth shall be at least 10 mm
greater than the expected penetration, and not less than 35 mm. The internal diameter of the container shall
be at least 55 mm and shall not exceed 70 mm.
NOTE 1 Recommended dimensions of the test sample container are given in Table 1.
Table 1 — Recommended dimensions of the test sample container

Penetration Internal depth Internal diameter
(0,1 mm) (mm) (mm)
penetration < 160 35 55
160 ≤ penetration ≤ 330 45 70
If insufficient binder is available (e.g. if it was obtained by extraction of a bituminous mix core or while
monitoring short- or long-term ageing development) use a small stainless steel container. In order to fulfil the
requirements of 7.4.2, the container shall have an inner diameter of at least 35 mm and a wall thickness
between 1,5 mm and 2,0 mm. For penetrations lower than 100 x 0,1 mm, the inner height of the container
shall be at least 20 mm. For penetrations from 100 x 0,1 mm up to 200 x 0,1 mm, the inner height of the
container shall be at least 30 mm. To ensure a good stable temperature during testing, the container shall be
placed in a brass ring with an inner diameter within 0,5 mm of the outer diameter of the sample container and
a height of (21 ± 1) mm or (31 ± 1) mm.
NOTE 2 The precision of the penetration values determined using the metal ring can be different from those given in
Clause 9.
5.4 Water bath (constant temperature bath), with a capacity of at least 10 l, and able to maintain the
temperature of the test sample within ± 0,15 °C. The bath shall have a perforated shelf supported in a position
not less than 50 mm from the bottom and not less than 100 mm below the liquid level in the bath. If
penetration tests are to be made in the bath itself, an additional shelf, strong enough to support the
penetrometer shall be provided.
NOTE The use of distilled or deionized water is recommended for the bath. Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the bath water by active surface agents or any other material that can affect the penetration values.
5.5 Transfer dish, for tests outside the water bath. The dish shall have a capacity of at least 350 ml and
shall be deep enough to ensure that the test sample container is completely covered with water.
The bottom of the transfer dish shall be constructed so that the dish cannot be rocked when it is placed on the
stand of the penetrometer. Similarly the surface on which the test sample container rests shall be made so
that the test sample container cannot rock during penetration of the test sample.
For temperatures lower than 25 °C, the capacity of the transfer dish shall be 1,5 l.
5.6 Timing device, accurate to within 0,1 s.
5.7 Thermometers, solid stem, as specified in Annex A.
Other temperature measuring devices may be used instead of mercury stem thermometers, however, the
mercury stem thermometer is the reference device and any alternative device employed shall be calibrated to
provide the same readings as a mercury stem thermometer, recognising and allowing for change of thermal
response compared with Hg thermometer.
TS EN 1426 : 2008-01
EN 1426:2007 (E)
NOTE 1 When measuring and controlling nominally constant temperatures, as in the method described, alternative
devices can indicate greater cyclic variations than mercury thermometers, to an extent depending on the cycle time of
heating and the power of the controlled heat input.
NOTE 2 In order to obtain the relevant precision (± 0,15 °C), reading of the temperature on thermometer should be
performed with a lens
6 Sampling
6.1 Take the laboratory sample in accordance with EN 58, taking all necessary safety precautions, and
ensuring that the test sample is representative of the laboratory sample from which it is taken. Ensure that the
laboratory sample is homogeneous and is not contaminated (see EN 1425).
6.2 Remove a sufficient amount of the laboratory sample, if necessary using a warmed knife, and transfer it
to a suitable container (see EN 12594).
6.3 Raise the material to the required temperature, i.e. 80 °C to 90 °C above the expected softening point
(see EN 1427) and fill one clean (free of dust, grease, rust, etc...) test sample container (5.3). Fill the container
to a depth so that, when the test sample is cooled to the test temperature, the depth is 10 mm greater than the
depth to which the needle is expected to penetrate.
For polymer modified bitumen, the temperature may not exceed 200 °C irrespective of the softening point.
6.4 Immediately after filling, loosely cover the test sample container with a container such as a lipped
beaker of suitable size.
NOTE 1 This assists in eliminating any air bubbles and it is a convenient way of providing protection against dust.
Allow the test sample to cool at an ambient temperature between 15 °C and 30 °C; for test samples less than
or equal to 45 mm deep, cool for 60 min to 90 min and for test samples more than 45 mm to 60 mm deep,
cool for 90 min to 120 min provided the volume of the test sample does not exceed 180 ml; for test samples of
more than 180 ml, cool for 60 min to 90 min for each 100 ml of test sample, then, place the test sample in the
constant temperature bath for a similar period to that used for cooling, and start testing.
NOTE 2 For measurement at temperatures lower than 25 °C, longer cooling times can be required.
6.5 When test conditions are not specified, for penetration values below approximately 330 × 0,1 mm, the
temperature, total applied load (see 5.2 Note 2) and loading duration shall be 25 °C, 100 g and 5 s. For
penetration values above approximately 330 × 0,1 mm, the test shall be carried out at conditions of 15 °C,
100 g and 5 s.
When other conditions are used, the details shall be reported in full.
NOTE In this case, the precision can be different from that stated in Clause 9.
7 Procedure
7.1 Preparation of the needle holder and needles
Examine the needle holder and its guide to check that it is free of water and other extraneous matter. Ensure
that the needle holder moves freely in its guide. Clean a penetration needle with toluene or other suitable
solvent, dry with a clean cloth and insert the needle into the needle holder. Unless otherwise specified, add
the 50 g weight and ensure that the total applied load is (100,00 ± 0,10) g.
Erratic results can be obtained with bitumen’s from certain sources. In such cases the needles shall be pre-treated by
immersing for 5 min in a 1% solution of oleic acid in toluene prior to drying.
TS EN 1426 : 2008-01
EN 1426:2007 (E)
7.2 Tests in the constant temperature bath
If tests are made with the penetrometer in the bath, place the test sample container directly on the submerged
shelf of the penetrometer. Keep the test sample container completely covered with the water in the bath.
7.3 Tests outside the constant temperature bath
If tests are made with the penetrometer outside the bath, place the sample container in the transfer dish that
has been kept in the bath with the test samples, cover the test sample container completely with water from
the constant temperature bath, and place the transfer dish on the stand of the penetrometer. Make sure that
the transfer remains at the chosen temperature until the measurement is completed.
For reference tests, make penetrations at temperatures other than 25 °C without removing the test samples
from the bath unless the transfer dish is separately controlled to ensure the correct temperature.
7.4 Determination of the penetration
7.4.1 First determinations
With the test sample container in position, slowly lower the needle until its tip just makes contact with its image
reflected by the surface of the test sample. Ensure that the zero position of the needle is noted, then, quickly
release the needle holder for the specified period of time. If the container moves during the determination,
discontinue the test. Adjust the instrument as necessary to determine the penetration of the needle into the
sample in tenths of a millimetre.
NOTE The positioning of the needle can be aided materially by good illumination, e.g. by the use of an illuminated
methyl methacrylate tube or a lens.
7.4.2 Repeat determinations
Carry out at least three valid determinations with three separate needles at points on the surface of the test
sample that are not less than 10 mm from the sides of the container and are not less than 10 mm apart. Use a
clean needle for each determination. If the penetration is greater than 100 × 0,1 mm, leave all the needles in
the test sample until all the determinations have been completed. If the test is carried out outside the bath and
the three determinations are not carried out within 2 min, return the test sample and transfer dish to the bath
and repeat the determination(s).
7.5 Maximum range of valid determinations
For tests carried out under the conditions of a test temperature of 25 °C, a total applied load of 100 g and a
loading duration of 5 s, the three determinations shall be acceptable if the range of the results obtained does
not exceed the relevant value given in Table 2.

250 and
Penetration in 0,1 mm up to 49 50 to 149 150 to 249

NOTE These ranges are not necessarily applicable at other conditions and for modified bitumen. For modified
bitumen they should only be used as guidance, until criteria are available.
TS EN 1426 : 2008-01
EN 1426:2007 (E)
If the appropriate maximum difference is exceeded, discard the results and repeat the test from clause 6 on a
second sample test container.
If the appropriate range is again exceeded, ignore all determinations and repeat the test until three valid
determinations have been obtained on the same test sample.
7.6 After completing the test, clean the penetration needles with a suitable solvent and store so as to
prevent corrosion or damage. Do not use detergent or silicone oil for cleaning the needles.
8 Expression of results
Express the penetration value as the arithmetic mean of the acceptable determinations (see 7.5), in tenths of
a millimetre rounded to the nearest integer.
9 Precision
9.1 Repeatability
The difference between two test results obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus under
constant operating conditions on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct
operation of the test method, exceed the values given in Table 3 in only one case in twenty.
9.2 Reproducibility
The difference between two single and independent test results obtained by different operators working in
different laboratories on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of
the test method, exceed the values given in Table 3 in only one case in twenty.
